Chang'e was waiting beside her, and she was also served by the Queen Mother's beloved daughter, Princess Longji.
"Empress..." After inserting the last piece of jewelery on the Queen Mother, Chang'e finally couldn't bear her curiosity and asked: "Is there anything we should pay attention to in this grand feast?"
Although she has awakened some past life memories.
But most of them can only remember some important keys.
A lot of common sense has been completely forgotten.
This is also the most common mystery that reincarnated people encounter.
Breaking the mystery of the womb is just the beginning.
Through the various back-up tactics that he had arranged before reincarnation, he gradually awakened to the secrets of his previous life.
Or, there is an elder or fellow Taoist whom you trust enough to take care of your reincarnation!
In this way, as long as the reincarnated body is found by the other party, you can gradually recover your previous life under the protection and teaching of the other party.
However, there are too few people with such luck!
Not just because human nature is unpredictable.
Even more because the road is ruthless!
Many people have worked hard to choose a Dharma protector.
As a result, that person was involved in disaster earlier than himself and turned into ashes.
Chang'e is undoubtedly lucky.
The Queen Mother smiled and nodded, and replied: "The grand feast is a legacy from the ancient times!"
"In the ancient times, the great road was so simple and so complex that even innate beings could not understand it. They could only comprehend a few of its mysteries!"
"Therefore, people who practiced Taoism in ancient times could only communicate with each other, learn from each other, confirm each other's achievements, and then pool their wisdom and learn from each other's strengths to make up for their weaknesses, so as to improve their own Tao..."
"The title of 'Fellow Taoist' was passed down from that time!"
When the Queen Mother said this, she also felt infinite nostalgia.
It was indeed a barbaric era.
But it’s also a wonderful time!
In the early Hongmeng years, the innate beings supported and helped each other.
People's hearts are simple and beautiful.
There is almost no calculation and no fighting.
At that time, even innate treasures, as long as they were not needed by oneself, would be exchanged with others, or even given directly to those in need.
Unlike now, let alone innate treasures, even Taoism cannot be taught lightly!
If a mortal does not have the opportunity, it is almost impossible for him to practice cultivation!
With nostalgia for the past, the Queen Mother sighed: "In that era, even people who were born in the Nine Netherworld were 'fellow Taoists'!"
Princess Longji listened, remembered something, and asked: "Mother, are you referring to the leader of the Styx?"
The Queen Mother looked at her daughter and smiled.
Laughing at her innocence.
Styx?
The River Styx is just the ‘birth’ of the Nine Nether Sea of Blood, not the ‘birth’.
The two are worlds apart!
However, Long Ji does not need to know these things.
The Queen Mother did not answer, but she did not deny it either.
She continued softly: "The Grand Avenue Feast began to take shape from that time..."
"In the beginning, it was a few Taoist friends who discussed Taoism at the foot of Buzhou Mountain, communicated with each other, and learned from each other!"
"Slowly, many people joined in..."
"The Demon Emperor, the Ancestral Witch, the True Dragon, the Qilin, the Phoenix... they all once sparred with people at the foot of Buzhou Mountain to discuss the Tao!"
"But, soon, the catastrophe will come!"
The Queen Mother's eyes became blurred, as if she was recalling something, and then she skipped the description of the great catastrophe.
"After the First Tribulation of Long Han, the Yin and Yang and the Five Elements of Heaven and Earth are generally determined!"
"At the foot of Buzhou Mountain, prosperity has returned to the past, and countless fellow Taoists come and discuss with each other..."
"Until one day, countless people in the three realms heard a voice..."
"You should all know this!" The Queen Mother looked at Chang'e and Long Ji.
"Are you referring to Daozu's lectures at Zixiao Palace?" Chang'e's ears perked up.
She vaguely remembered that she had also attended lectures in Zixiao Palace.
It's a pity that she has forgotten all the memories about Zixiao Palace!
"Yes!" said the Queen Mother: "At that time, I was serving Daozu and thought I was a virgin!"
"Every time Taoist ancestors lectured on the Dharma, all three thousand people in Zixiao Palace were sitting upright, listening to it in such a mesmerizing way that they suddenly didn't realize it!"
"Often, it would take one year, ten years or even a hundred years for the listeners to understand and comprehend a word that Taoist ancestors spoke..."
"So, Taoist Patriarch in Zixiao Palace preached three times, but not one of them listened completely!"
"Even the strongest person can only remember one-tenth of the content..."
"And the weakest people often only remember a few words..."
"Ah!" Chang'e and Princess Longji were both surprised when they heard this: "How many words?"
It is inevitable that I will cry in my heart.
What use can a few words do?
The Queen Mother naturally understood the inner thoughts of these two people, so she smiled and said: "You think that the great road discussed by Taozu is very simple?"
"In one word, everything is included and the changes are endless!"
"For ordinary immortals, if they were in that Zixiao Palace, even if they heard just one word, their souls would be involuntarily obsessed with the mysteries of the Dao taught by the Taoist ancestors, and they would never be able to extricate themselves from it!"
"It's hard to break free until you sit down!"
"If you hear the truth in the morning, you can die in the evening!"
"This is what we call: small words but great meaning!"
"This is also something you two need to be careful about and watch out for during this Biyou Palace Avenue Feast!"
"Senior Brother Jiejiao Saint has already attained enlightenment and become a saint, and his understanding of the Great Way has already reached the level of 'Hunyuan Wuji'!"
"Now, among all the saints, I am the first to take a step forward!"
"At this feast, if Brother Sage gives a lecture, I am afraid that even if it is not as profound as the Taoist ancestors in Zixiao Palace in the past, I am afraid it is not far behind!"
"The method and the way he talks about must be the true meaning of the great road that is both mysterious and mysterious, wonderful and wonderful!"
"It's also a kind of 'small words and big ideas'!"
"If the three flowers on the top of the head cannot be condensed and the five qi in the chest are not perfected, they cannot listen to the lecture 'directly'! Let alone comprehend it 'directly'!"
"Because, even if the saint was merciful at that time and set up a magic circle to protect you with supreme supernatural power, so that your souls would be quiet and you would not be addicted to the great road taught by the saint, however, this is still an extremely dangerous thing! For the sake of the saint,
The Tao is wandering, and your cultivation is shallow. If you face the Tao rashly, you will look up like a high mountain and surrender to the sage's Tao! From now on, you will follow the sage's Tao step by step. I believe that the sage's way will always be correct!"
"Isn't this... a good thing?" Princess Long Ji didn't understand.
Chang'e's beautiful eyes were thoughtful.
The Queen Mother shook her head, looked at Princess Longji, and asked: "Among the three realms, are there two identical flowers? Two completely similar trees?"
Princess Longji was stunned.
"If the vegetation is like this, how much more should it be done by those who practice Taoism?"
"Those who practice Tao need to walk out of their own way!"
"Under the Golden Immortal, you may be able to learn and imitate others... However, each Golden Immortal has its own way, which is completely different!"
"If you think about it carefully, what is your master's specialty? What is the path that your master has cultivated?"
Princess Longji's eyes lit up.
She has been wondering.
Her teacher Wen Zhong practiced the Thunder Technique of the Divine Sky, but her master, Dou Mu Yuanjun, practiced the Way of the Stars, and was also good at the Sword Way of the Stars.
All my uncles and masters also have various magical powers, each of them is different.
Long Ji never understood it in the past, but now he reacted immediately after being reminded by the Queen Mother.
Then, Princess Longji thought of a possibility, and she suddenly became curious.
Then he mustered up the courage and asked: "Mother, I want to ask..."
"Since every Golden Immortal needs to have his own 'Tao', is there only a quota of three thousand Golden Immortals in the world?"
After hearing this question, the Queen Mother looked at Princess Longji solemnly, and then at Chang'e who was equally curious.
Then she stretched out her hand and pulled up a curtain, offered the spiritual treasure, and covered the hall.
Then, she replied: "There are three thousand avenues, different paths leading to the same destination!"
"If the great road is like this, how much more should it be done by those who practice it?"
Having said this, the Queen Mother gently shook her hand, and two peonies planted in the jade pond appeared in her hand.
"Look, these two peonies are equally beautiful... but can you tell that they are the same peony?"
Princess Longji thought for a while and felt that she understood, so she thanked her: "Thank you, mother, for the explanation!"
Who would point out the secret of this great avenue except mother and daughter?
Chang'e was still thoughtful, and she seemed to have remembered some forgotten things.
So, he said softly: "Your Majesty... where is the Golden Immortal?"
She vaguely remembered that in her previous life, a war broke out between the demon gods to compete for the avenue!
The three hundred and sixty-five demon gods only gained a firm foothold after bloody battles.
The Queen Mother nodded: "Being above the Golden Immortal is naturally different!"
"Not only are the methods different, they are also different from ancient times to modern times!"
"Today is the age of humanity!"
"The human race is the legitimate son of heaven and earth!"
"Under the influence of heaven and man, even the great road begins to reflect the world!"
"Therefore, if you want to attain Maharaja, you need to go down to earth!"
"Learn from the human race's orthodoxy and follow your own path. If the path is feasible, then you can prove it!"
"If the Tao is not feasible, it is impossible to realize Daluo!"
"Daluo is like this, quasi-sage is like this...even saints, if they want to transcend heaven and earth, they also need the orthodoxy of the human race!"
"This is also the reason why the Three Realms were shaken this time when Senior Brother Jiejiao Saint gave a lecture, and countless golden immortals, Daluo, and quasi-sages flocked to it. They did not hesitate to pay any price in order to get a place in Biyou Palace!"
"This is the fate between you two!"
"This time, if you two can understand a thing or two from the teachings of Senior Brother Jiejiao Saint, you will be more confident in your future enlightenment as a Golden Immortal!"
When the Queen Mother said this, she lowered her head.
This is also her fate!
A saint who has attained enlightenment is like a beacon standing in a dark storm to a being like her.
Can guide her in the right direction!
But now, the saint of Jiejiao has taken a further step on the road and is willing to share the results of his progress.
This is equivalent to the lighthouse suddenly changing its direction on the chaotic sea of the road, and shining a faint beam of light on a lost traveler like her, illuminating a little of the sea in front of her.
Maybe it would allow her to safely avoid those rocks lurking in the darkness.
Princess Longji and Chang'e heard it, but they seemed to understand.
After a while, Princess Longji asked: "Mother, didn't you say before... that a child with such a shallow cultivation cannot even listen to the saint's teachings?"
"Why do you say this is the fate of children?"
Chang'e also pricked up her ears and listened carefully.
The Queen Mother laughed: "There is a difference between 'listening' and hearing!"
"My child is stupid..." Princess Longji didn't understand.
The Queen Mother smiled and explained: "Brother, the saint of the Human Religion, once lectured on the Dharma to all living beings at a feast on the great road..."
"The five colors are blinding, the five tones are deafening, and the five flavors are refreshing..."
"Therefore, those who practice Taoism need to calm their souls in order to see how wonderful the Taoism is!"
"so……"
"You can do the opposite!"
"When the sage teaches the Dharma, he is blind with the five colors, deaf with the five tones, and refreshing with the five flavors... Naturally, a leaf blocks his eyes and cannot see the mystery!"
Princess Longji was completely confused: "But... if the child can't see or hear anything, then wouldn't it be... wouldn't it be..."
The Queen Mother laughed but did not explain.
"Princess..." Chang'e saw this and immediately said: "The five colors, five tones and five flavors that the empress mentioned are not true..."
"The so-called blindness, deafness, and sweet mouth are just descriptions..."
"Actually, I want you to close your soul to external perception..."
"The empress will use her magical powers and spiritual treasures to protect you..."
"When the time comes, you can still hear and feel the mystery of the saint's teachings..."
"But those things that you cannot understand and cannot understand... will be sealed outside the soul and still remain in your Taoist heart..."
After saying this, Chang'e bowed to the Queen Mother and said, "My queen, is what I said right?"
The Queen Mother smiled and nodded: "The great sound is loud, the great road is invisible..."
"The same is true for the saint's humble words and great righteousness!"
"Besides..." The Queen Mother held Princess Longji's hand: "By then, you will not only have my protection..."
"Your master, your master...even a saint may protect you..."
"Maybe it can help you remember more of the 'small words and big meanings'!"
"Perhaps, even as a mother, I may need to learn something from you..."
Having said this, the Queen Mother sighed quietly in her heart.
It's a pity that her incarnation cannot appear directly.
Otherwise, as a virgin, go directly to Biyou Palace, and you will definitely be able to sit with the Golden Spirit Mother for three nights.
It can be protected by the Jiejiao Monument and Fishing Drum.
In that case, she should be able to memorize most of the subtle words and great meanings spoken by the saint!
Princess Long Ji didn't understand: "Enlightenment?"
The Queen Mother nodded and said: "Of course!"
"The sage preaches the Dharma and turns the great truth into small words and great meanings to educate all sentient beings! This is to say: the great truth guides me!"
"As for the younger generation disciples, listen carefully to the sage's teachings and interpret the mysteries of the Tao... Then, they retreat to understand the subtle meanings and great meanings of the sage's words, understand the mysteries, and confirm each other with my way. I use the good ones for my use, and discard the bad ones for my own benefit.
What I abstain from is this: I focus on the great road!"
"This is the true meaning of the saint's grand feast!"
"It's also the reason why all the immortals from the three realms are flocking to him!"
"It is also a place that other saints covet!"
"A saint who, after attaining enlightenment, takes a further step forward on the great path, path and fruit... can be a benchmark for all sentient beings in the three realms and all cultivators!"
"Just like the Beidou points to the north, the light of the jade scale illuminates the surrounding areas. Even mortals can use it to know the direction in the wilderness..."
